Hi im going to Dublin over New Years, and i was just wondering if any one can tell me what its like and where the good places to go are? and if every where is all tickets pritty much on NYE and stuff like that. Cheers in advance Bolton_Sig

WELL IT DEPENDS ON WHO YOUR GOING WITH AND OF COURSE WHAT TYPE OF FUN ARE THEY AFTER EVERY TOWN IN THE WORLD WILL BE CRAZY WITH PISS HEADS ON NYE , YOUR BEST BET IS TO GET IN TO A PLACE EARLY DEPENDING ON HOW MANY ARE GOING AND MAKE IT YOUR BASE TEMPLE BAR IS THE HEART OF THE NIGHT LIFE VERY CENTRAL WITH LOTS OF DIFFERENT VENUES BARS AND RESTAURANTS NEARBY SO NO NEED FOR CABS AND ALL THAT !!

Right Bolton CQMS does have a point of sorts, NYE in Dublin can be a non event. Check out Dublin Tourism's website for events. The pubs and clubs will be exceptionally busy.

To be honest, I found NYE in rural Ireland much better fun. Galway or Killarney in Kerry, both with air access to London and some other UK cities. I have friends in Tipperary where I've had some great laughs and met some serious talent in the past but access to there is a little more tricky.

If Dublin's booked then stay central but recce the Dublin Tourism website for place to go. Enjoy!

Dublin can be a great night on the lash, like any city you will have certain undesireables/idiots.
Check out national newspapers (online) like the Evening Herald, Irish Daily Star/Sun etc or the Sunday World for upcoming events.
Temple Bar WILL be full of idiots/stag parties etc etc, i would avoid if possible.
Vicar St normally run concerts etc but you will need to book early.Like i said use newspapers,magazines or Google, don't mind the negativity and above all remember you're a tourist!
Slainte!
